This dynamic book offers a comprehensive companion to the theory
and practice of Theatre of the Oppressed. Developed by Brazilian
director and theorist Augusto Boal, these theatrical forms invite
people to mobilize their knowledge and rehearse struggles against
oppression. Featuring a diverse array of voices (many of them as
yet unheard in the academic world), the book hosts dialogues on the
following questions, among others: Why and how did Theatre of the
Oppressed develop? What are the differences between the 1970s (when
Theatre of the Oppressed began) and today? How has Theatre of the
Oppressed been shaped by local and global shifts of the last
40-plus years? Why has Theatre of the Oppressed spread or
"multiplied" across so many geographic, national, and cultural
borders? How has Theatre of the Oppressed been shaped by
globalization, "development," and neoliberalism? What are the
stakes, challenges, and possibilities of Theatre of the Oppressed
today? How can Theatre of the Oppressed balance practical analysis
of what is with ambitious insistence on what could be? How can
Theatre of the Oppressed hope, but concretely? Broad in scope yet
rich in detail, The Routledge Companion to Theatre of the Oppressed
contains practical and critical content relevant to artists,
activists, teachers, students, and researchers.
